About Douglas G Tacket

About the Provider

I got into medicine because it gave me the ability to combine science and art to help others. Good health care isn’t just based on the latest medical research and scientific findings. My treatment recommendations also come from listening carefully to my patients and thinking carefully about the best way to meet their needs.

I put a high priority on patient education. When patients ask me to explain my recommendations, I try to use illustrations and examples that they can understand and relate to as often as possible. I get a lot of joy from helping my patients better understand themselves and learn how to preserve the gift of life that they’ve been given.

    Dr. Tacket was very understanding and caring of my health. He was able to determine that my lab work indicated my cholesterol was significantly lower than the last visit after prescribing me a statin, This definitely helps me to avoid having a heart attack.
